You probably know what this shoe is already but Essense has some great new pictures of this Nike x Mr. Cartoon 2 Air Force 1 “Cinco De Mayo”. Like the Cinco De Mayo Dunk, this Air Force 1 is also inspired by the Mexician theme. The use of patent leather and the nicely embroided LA makes this shoe something to be desired for.

If you’re in NYC, check this out at Nort.Finally, a truce in the ongoing struggle between art and commerce. After recent battles went both ways (Yay art! Yay, um, commerce!), the always level-headed Lower East Side weighs-in with a solution: Why not celebrate both? This newish Ludlow St. mural manages to do just that, expressing its bleak view of the urban jungle while also managing to pinpoint the exact location of Eldridge Street sneakerhead Mecca Nort. It’s a beautiful thing when two opposing sides can come together like this, all in the name of Nike.

Here’s some better pictures of the Vans x Mr. Cartoon Slip-ons from RTHQ. The art by Mr. Cartoon on this pair of vans is superb. Even Mr. Cartoon’s signature is on the midsole.
